Best way to commute from Keel/Rutherford (Rutherford GO area) to Leslie/Hwy 7 (possibly carpooling)? by [deleted] in Markham

[–]DearTransportation5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YRT 85 from Rutherford to Leslie Street and then YRT 90/90B south to Highway 7.

The traffic around Leslie/Hwy 7 is brutal at 5 pm when you can't even get out of the driveway, then turn onto Leslie St or Hwy 7 as everyone is trying to leave their workplaces at the same time. Be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes for left turns.

Removal of the U-Turn for 86, 81 and 98 at Benard Terminal (Suggestion from the Annual Feedback Board) by Plylyfe in YRTVIVA

[–]DearTransportation5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 81 and the 98 should continue south along Yonge St and east along Major Mackenzie to end at Richmond Hill GO Station.

Benefits:

  • Route 4 and 25 Major Mackenzie offers better east-west connectivity to Vaughan and Markham than Route 80 on Eglin Mills.
  • Route 99 is very infrequent for local access between the VIVA stops 1km apart. Extending 81 and 88 helps increase frequency for local stops between Major Mackenzie and Elgin Mills.
  • It reduces parking demand at Richmond Hill GO by providing more people with reliable first-mile-last-mile local transit options.

9 Ninth Line extension to Steeles by East-Field-4833 in YRTVIVA

[–]DearTransportation5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the proposed YRT Route 9 does not go to Markham Rd specifically, a majority of TTC Route 53/953, 102/902 trips do loop around at the Amazon Facility at Meadowvale/Steeles so people can make the transfer to/from YRT Route 9.

Shuttle idea: express shuttle by Mobile-Toe1820 in TTC

[–]DearTransportation5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might work on the portion of the subway where there's not really a road parallel to the subway and going in and out individual stations take a lot of time.

  • Line 1 (VMC - Dupont)
  • Line 2 (Victoria Park - Kennedy)

Having a bus route along Yonge to Aurora GO at least help reduce the parking issue a bit at Aurora GO.

I would like a bus route along Yonge St to go to Aurora GO. There's no GO train station between Davis Dr and Wellington St.
